Tyne Bridges, a photo from Tyne and Wear, England

Photographer's Note

I have already presented several photos from Newcastle upon Tyne (click here to see them). The city is located, as the name indicates, north of River Tyne and this location near the river obviously is a great opportunity for blue hour photography. Moreover the highlights of Newcastle are its fantastic bridges. Each of them is unique and each is worth of separate presentation. Tonight luckily I had a chance to be there at the blue hour. There are two POVs which are exceptional. I have tried one of them already although with a point-and-shoot-camera (click here to see it), and I always wanted to try this one here.
There are several bridges glued in this view together. You can probably only distinguish two of them both having oval arches. The closes one which you can spot here is the Millenium Bridge. The further arch belongs to the Tyne Bridge The design of the Tyne Bride (1928) was an inspiration for the famous Harbour Bridge (1932) in Sydney. It was designed and build by the same company from Middlesbrough in North East England. The modern oval structure left from the river The Sage Gateshead, is the music and arts centre.

Hello Mariusz,

Nice "cityscape" with several interesting features. The effect on the long exposure on the water is somewhat unusual; to me it sort of looks like water on ice after a mild period in the core of winter. The building on the left side is amazing. One could wish there was something equivalent on the other side, but you were the photographer, not the city-planner! Beautiful light and lights, and reflections too of course.

Best regards,
Claude

Hi Mariusz,
fantastica immagine di questo bellissimo luogo durante l'ora blu.
Le luci sono gestite in modo magistrale e il loro riflesso sull'acqua rende affascinante tutta la scena.
Bello anche l'effetto seta dell'acqua.

Compliments and TFS!
Francesco

Hi Mariusz
always great to see a new photo from you.
When you post shots here, it increases the quality of the entire site! :)

I know you like to do pseudo HDR, and I think this is one of them right? It just has that look to it that I really like.
wow, what a color set!
I especially like the curve on the far left, and how the light is along that same curve.
the water looks like Ice!
awesome shot all around
cheers

Bonjour Mariusz,

J'aime beaucoup cette photo. La technique est impeccable. J'aime les reflets dans l'eau qui semble gelée comme une patinoire.Les ponts sont de toute beauté et d'un graphisme extraordinaire.

Bon dimanche

Great night shot ...

josepmarin (59385) 2012-10-28 11:23

Hi Mariusz,
the overlapping of the bridges has a strong graphical effect, in this precious capture at dusk, and the nice lighting of the city, combined with the reflections on the water, and with a grey and cloudy sky, provides a high aesthetic level to your composition.
The image is very sharp, and the colors are really beautiful.
It is a magnificent and elegantly executed work.
Best regards,
Josep

brianmcc (6223) 2012-10-28 12:18

Hi Mariusz
There' so much clarity and warmthness in this fine low light shot and thanks to your sturdy tripod. I always enjoy creativity and here you paint with light, colour and reflections. The composition is fine making the bridge so central ensuring focus is centred there. The light-up and atmosphere is great and remarkale contrast. Fine night shot, Congrats.
Kind regards

Hello Mariusz,
I like how you show the big arches of both bridges together.
This is a splendid blue hour shot whereby the long vertical lines of the reflected lights in the water play an important role.
Wonderful reflections also in the facade of the Sage Gateshead.
Did you ever go in there?
Best regards, Paul
